Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet per second to knots is 0.59248380129641, which means that 1 foot per second is equal to 0.59248380129641 knots:

1 ft/s = 0.59248380129641 kt

To convert 9802 feet per second into knots we have to multiply 9802 by the conversion factor in order to get the velocity amount from feet per second to knots. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft/s → 0.59248380129641 kt

9802 ft/s → V_(kt)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the velocity V in knots:

V_(kt) = 9802 ft/s × 0.59248380129641 kt

V_(kt) = 5807.5262203074 kt

The final result is:

9802 ft/s → 5807.5262203074 kt

We conclude that 9802 feet per second is equivalent to 5807.5262203074 knots:

9802 feet per second = 5807.5262203074 knots

Alternative conversion
